The CSV engine requires that every field be surrounded by double quotes.

If your text has double quotes, escape them or change them.
If you don't have that kind of time...

You may want to do this the weird way using Microsoft Access.

1.      Install MyODBC (Takes like 30 seconds or less)
2.      Create ODBC connection using this path
                a. Control Panel
                b. Administrative Tools
                c. Data Sources (ODBC)
3.      Create Access Database.
4.      In the Access Database, create Database Link to the MySQL table.
5.      In the Access Database, create Database Link to your Spreadsheet.
6.      Construct 'Append Query' to copy data from the XLS to the MySQL table

Have fun !!!
